## Gestalt Principles → Pun Attacks

| Principle | Pun Vector | Example |
|-----------|------------|---------|
| **Proximity** | Near-homophones | Rot ≈ Root |
| **Similarity** | Cognates | Stahl = Steel |
| **Closure** | Complete the pun | Lamm da → Lambda |
| **Continuity** | Gradual shift | Funktor → Fun Actor |

## Color Puns (Farbenwortspiele)

| Deutsch | English | Pun | Trit |
|---------|---------|-----|------|
| Rot | Red | ROOT of all colors | +1 |
| Grün | Green | GRIN and bear it | 0 |
| Blau | Blue | BLOW me away | -1 |
| Weiß | White | WISE choice | 0 |
| Schwarz | Black | May the SCHWARZ be with you | -1 |

## Categorical Puns (Kategorische Wortspiele)

| Term | Decomposition | Pun |
|------|---------------|-----|
| Funktor | Fun + Ktor | "Every FUNKTOR is a FUN ACTOR" |
| Morphismus | More + Fizz + Miss | "MORE FIZZ, MISS!" |
| Monade | Mohn + Ade | "Say MOHN-ADE to side effects!" |
| Komonade | Komm + Monade | "KOMM, MONADE!" |
| Tensor | Ten + Sore | "TEN SORE fingers" |
| Lambda | Lamm + da | "LAMM DA!" |

## GF(3) Puns (Trit-Wortspiele)

| Trit | German Sound | Pun |
|------|--------------|-----|
| MINUS (-1) | Mein Haus | "MINUS is MEIN HAUS" |
| ERGODIC (0) | Er geht Dick | "ERGODIC: ER GEHT DICK through phase space" |
| PLUS (+1) | Plüsch | "PLUS colors are PLÜSCH warm" |
